Yun He explained that if there is no cannon for killing people, the children of the Wuyi army will be killed and injured by the barbarians. This is the greater sin. Sister, think about it, those martial arts students on the school are so young and so charming. Do you have the heart to let them die on the battlefield because they have no cannons to help them?

When Yun Shao heard this, he quickly clasped his hands together.

Where did she want to?

"If there is no bronze Buddha, just use the jade Buddha..." Zhihui was even more indifferent.

Because she had investigated a new way to make money, there were not many Nianyufangs in Yangzhou, so she was going to follow the connections of her third brother and build a large number of raw jade from Jingyuan to make various jadeware. The simplest thing is, once the jade Buddha can be used to replace the bronze Buddha (a pocket Buddha statue can be completely replaced), then this investment alone can make a lot of money.

Therefore, Zhihui firmly supports the policy of the three brothers.

Two to one, Yun Shao had no choice but to support his husband.

Zhihui promised that she would get the best Jade Buddha immediately for you to offer to you.

So several bronze statues of Duke Wei were handed over first.

Even the military prefectures and prefectures and counties followed them.

Han Yu was particularly excited. He also wrote a letter to Gao Yue, saying that since he had started to destroy the Buddha statues, it would be better to do it thoroughly and start taxing the temples in Yangzhou. I have designed it for you. Monks and nuns over 16 and under 50 years old must pay four jin of money every year and a piece of silk cloth. The temple fields and temple households must pay two taxes and hubu rice according to the standards. In addition, the government will also pay the temple and purchase rice, grain and utensils every year.

Gao Yue replied that what Chu said makes sense, but you should not do things too vigorously, and it is better to make a long-term plan.

Even after "long-term planning", the entire Huaiyang still caused a sensation. There was a bronze bell in Shengyun Temple in Lianshui, Chuzhou, which was donated by the Silla people who lived ashore. The governor Wang Haichao led people to move. The Silla people came to stop him. Wang Haichao was forcibly dispersed. Then he used dozens of cows and ropes to pull the bell out of the temple. As a result, the bell suddenly fell and smashed through the floor, making a sound like thunder.

The monk then shouted to the believers of Silla, saying that this is the meaning of Buddha, and that Buddha nature is contained in the bell, and it is unwilling to leave Shengyun Temple. If the government forces it to carry it, it will cause heavenly punishment, and the Duke of Wei may encounter unexpected accidents on the journey southward.

Wang Haichao wrote a letter to Gao Yue.

Gao Yue was furious and replied in a few words:

“Through the walls and chisel the walls, add manpower, cattle and horses;

This road casts bells as cannons, and is blessed by Buddha nature. Killing enemies will lead to success.

If the monks of the Holy Cloud Temple curse the king, the king can kill him with a sword.

If the monks of the Holy Cloud Temple are going to be jealous and confusing, the king's envoy can kill his staff."

As a result, Wang Haichao sent the letter to Shengyun Temple. The monk in charge thought that he was going to die, so he was so shocked that he fainted immediately.

So the military officials and garrisons in Chuzhou worked together to remove all the temple walls, and then dragged out the bell with more than a hundred cows, melted it into copper blocks on the spot, and sent it to the Yangzhou Military Arts Square to cast artillery.

Afterwards, the monks of Shengyun Temple prayed devoutly for Duke Wei day and night, hoping that he would be healthy and triumphant sooner. After all, he would be in a good mood to win the battle and should forgive them.

At the end of September, ships of all sizes and large at Yangzhou Port followed the vast rivers into the sea, sailing to cover the sea, carrying the entire Wuyi army to set off on the expedition.

When we arrived in Hangzhou and Mingzhou, the Zhenhai Army was led by Bai Liangqi and also sailed various sea boats to join Gao Yue's team.

In fact, it feels bad to ride a boat. Even though it is near the sea, the bumps up and down have made Gao Yue a little dizzy. After all, he is in his forties, but seeing the majestic scene of ships connecting front and back and moving forward bravely in the waves, Gao Yue has overcome his difficulties psychologically.

The huge fleet of ships in the south of the expedition include 30 large ships on the fifth floor, forty large ships, and 300 ships with a flat bottom of rivers and seas (troopers, grain, weapons and horses). Aunt Yu's plan was adopted in the cabin. He raised vegetables and livestock by himself, rice and grain, and fresh vegetables and meat, which allowed the soldiers, war horses and boatmen to stay healthy. In addition, dozens of "sea swan ships" were escorted further away. This ship had a sharp bottom, suitable for cutting waves in the sea. The bows at both ends were raised just now, like swan mouths, and there were wooden platforms that could fire light cannons. Bamboo on both sides of the ship made an "armored female wall" with digging holes for fire guns and crossbows to shoot.

Soon after, the Conquest Fleet arrived in Fuzhou.

At this time, not only did the observation and Uncle Zheng come to welcome him, but the ship workers and movers in the entire port were guided by the Maritime Bureau to transport various materials to Gao Yue's fleet.

However, foot strength and price are particularly expensive. The cost of foreign ships from other seas is two-thirds lower than that of Gaoyue fleet.

Gao Yue was very angry and said that this must have been told by Zheng Wenming when he stepped down.

It's true.

However, Gao Yue soon understood Zheng Zhi's approach. When he saw the twelve wall notes left by Zheng Zhi in the main hall of the envoy, he was even more moved and said to Zheng Shuze: "Fujian's future livelihood will be in Fuzhou, Quanzhou and Zhangzhou. We must pay special attention to Quanzhou. This place is not only a good port, but also happens to be located between Lingnan and Huaiyang and Zhejiang. In addition, you have no land and water routes in Fujian, so you can only rely on sea routes to transfer commercial goods from both places, south and north and north and south, and the market income will be sufficient. Zheng Wenming's eyes are really unique and profound."

Uncle Zheng expressed his acceptance.

Gao Yue suggested that he should make every effort to create a large official in Quanzhou, including the Maritime Defense Department, the Haiqu Court, etc., and to invite the officials of good fortune to go to specialize in maritime trade affairs. The salary and money can be doubled. "If you rely on the sea to benefit, you cannot abuse the maritime merchants as servants. After all, if the maritime merchants do not come, the profit will be gone, and the end of fishing in the pond will be no fish. The idea of ​​this is to not add taxes to goods at will, do not detain ships at will, and do not set up tax sites in the inland to increase the price of maritime goods. The officials in the maritime trade party must have high salary and money, but the choice must be strict, so that they can effectively prevent the occurrence of corruption. If fair and honest, it will be efficient. If it is efficient, there will be more ships coming here, which is a big benefit."

When he saw Uncle Zheng, he was a little suspicious, so Gao Yue cheered him up and said that this time, I am in charge of military affairs. I don’t care about the financial and tax calculations. I can only give you advice, but if you think it is right, it should be early and not late. You are the commander of the five prefectures of Fujian. As long as you guarantee the two taxes and orders to pay the court, you have the final say for the rest. In addition, I, Huaiyang, and western and eastern Zhejiang, can help you, so there is still a lot of potential.

Only then did Uncle Zheng put down his burden and said he was willing to try his best.

Three days later, the fleet set sail again and prepared to moor to Zhangzhou and then to Lingnan.

As a result, in the seas of Zhangzhou and Quanzhou, countless Baishuilang and yachts accepted the solicitation letter sent by Gao Yue's military officers in advance, and then covered the sky with their unique grass-pitched boats in Fujian from their respective Pukou, where they were located, and gathered to join the Duke of Wei's southern conquest fleet.
